    Everything about the house was great! The heated pool was ok, but it was cool weather and cold at night, so I think if we had had more sun it would have been perfect. The firepit was AWESOME, and the outdoor living sections made our trip wonderful. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay, and the hosts are very attentive. I would give it a 10 out of 10.

    Great property, host and overall stay. Host is very communicative and easy to correspond with. The host also has authentic concern for their guests, to include meeting/ exceeding client expectations. Would definitely be a repeat guest.

    This home was probably one of the best places we’ve stayed. It was so clean and comfortable. So many places skimp on furniture but it was comfortable everywhere. We loved the pool and our 2 westies loved running and chasing each other around the backyard. A couple of the over the top items we rarely find. The master shower is perfect after a hot day, nicer than mine at home even. Being able to have a garage door opener and parking in the garage out of the sun is a huge plus in the area.

    The house was extremely clean and the property owner was very nice to work with. The backyard is exceptional. We loved the location and the proximity to the south mountains which enabled us to hike every day before breakfast. We also loved being close to the grocery store and coffee shops. The house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly want. The only minor inconvenience was the beds are a bit small. I’m 5’9 and my husband is 6 feet tall and it was pretty snug for two grown-ups to sleep. But maybe we’re spoiled coming from a California king back home lol. Thanks for the great stay! I would definitely recommend and stay again in the future.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lee and Karen's place. Upon our arrival, we were met with chips and salsa on the counter, which was a very nice gesture for our growling stomachs. It was apparent that they put a lot of work into the backyard, we spent a lot of time out there. The heated pool was perfect for February and we loved the floats. We used the grill a lot, which made cooking easy. Cooking inside was easy too as they have a very well equipped kitchen. The location was right by the local Safeway, making ordering and picking up groceries easy shortly after we arrived. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We were able to meet Lee and Karen upon our departure and they are very nice people, very responsive. Will stay again when we come back to Phoenix!

    Stayed for two weeks and enjoyed every minute. Walking distance to south mountain and grocery / Starbucks. Hosts were phenomenal and the house was spacious with lots of room for lounging. We bought our little pup and he loved the huge yard. Highly recommend!

    Lee and Karen were both excellent to work with. The home and property were spotless upon arrival. The back yard was perfect for the one night that we had Family over to relax after a very busy few days. We sat outside most of the time enjoying the yard and the sun. We would both highly recommend this property. Everything is within 10-15 minutes that you may need. Very enjoyable time for certain.

    Loved everything about the property, except for the lack of storage space and the proximity of the property being so close to a very busy intersection. The insulation on the side of the house closest to the intersection was great, so couldn't hear much exterior noise when inside. Property was very clean, decor wasn't our taste but it was cohesive. The hosts were AMAZING and the backyard was a dream! Wish the pool were heated to a bit warmer temperature with the outside temperature cooling down a bit this time of year, but we made it work. If we're in the neighborhood again, would definitely consider booking, as should you!

    I have family and friends in the Tempe area and this house was in the perfect location for a 2 week visit. I appreciated that the garage was usable so my car didn't have to bake in the 115* sun. The pool was a must to combat the PHX heat and loved that it was fenced off but there was still a yard area accessible separate from the pool (my dogs are water obsessed). The house is very spacious, more than enough for me working from home and my 2 medium-sized dogs. Kitchen had everything you would need and there is a great grill outside. My only complaint is all of the beds are very high/tall. I'm 5'4 and I wouldn't say it was a struggle to get in to bed, but it wasn't as easy as most hotel beds and could be an issue for someone with a physical disability or ailment. Lee and Karen were great hosts. They were very communicative ahead of my stay, checked in when I arrived and then reached out to let me know about some fruit growing on the property that I could help myself to (the tomatoes were delicious). Fortunately, there wasn't anything I 'needed' to contact them about during my stay but I don't doubt that if something unexpected happened they would be very engaged to remedy the situation
